15 m OM4 LC Duplex Fibre Cable

This 15 metre aqua patch cable uses OM4 laser-optimised multimode fibre with LC duplex connectors on both ends. It is built for 40 and 100 Gigabit networks using SFP+ or QSFP+ transceivers at 850 nm and 1350 nm wavelengths.

Installation and common issues

The LC duplex connectors push in until they click and release with a squeeze of the latch; no tools are required. The LSZH jacket is stiffer than standard PVC, so allow a generous bend radius when routing through tight trays. Dust caps must stay on until the moment of mating to avoid contaminating the ferrule end-faces.

Deciding specification

The cable is rated for 100 Gbps maximum data rate over OM4 50/125 fibre, so it suits links that need 40GBase-SR4 or 100GBase-SR10 performance. It will not support single-mode distances or wavelengths outside the 850 nm and 1350 nm VCSEL and LED range.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 15 m cable is performing within acceptable optical insertion loss limits after installation?

Each OM4 patch cable is individually tested and certified to be within acceptable optical insertion loss limits; use a fibre-optic power meter or OTDR at 850 nm to confirm the link loss matches the certified value.

What connectors and jacket type are included with the 15 m aqua cable, and is any additional hardware required?

The cable arrives terminated with LC duplex male connectors on both ends and an LSZH low-smoke zero-halogen jacket; no extra hardware is needed for direct SFP+ or QSFP+ transceiver connections.

Which OM4 duplex cable should I select for a 100 Gbps link over 15 metres?

The 15 m OM4 LC-to-LC duplex patch cable rated for 100 Gbps at 850 nm wavelength is the correct choice for that distance and speed.
